Alder Creek Road to Frog Lake via Crabtree Canyon

Gravel route from Alder Creek Rd to Frog Lake Rd, Truckee, Nevada County, California

"Frog Lake was opened to the general public during 2020. There are several private properties in the area, but this specific route is permitted as far as I know, with no signs to the contrary. It's all dirt roads with a couple of quite steep sections. I used 35mm all-round tyres on a gravel bike (and no punctures) but 38mm or larger would have made it easier "

Tahoe Pyramid Trail (Hirschdale to Verdi)

Gravel route from Hirschdale Rd to Crystal Park Rd, Verdi, Washoe County, Nevada

"This section of the trail starts at the end of Hirschdale Road. It crosses over the Truckee River and proceeds along old Highway 40 on a partially paved flat road for about 1.5 miles. At that point, it meets the newly constructed dirt trail to Floriston. This section contains some steep sections, switchbacks, steps, and a boardwalk. From Floriston to the Fleish Bridge, the Trail is a combination of single track, dirt access road and constructed trail. The final section from Fleish Bridge to Crystal Peak Park in Verdi is single track, TMWA utility access road, gravel and then paved road. The Trail provides beautiful views of the Truckee River, and vegetation consists of open brush-covered hills to forested mountains. The total length is 16 miles and the grade ranges from flat to moderate with a steep section beyond Fleish Bridge. Finally, there is another steep section as the trail descends from the Fleish powerhouse to Quilici Ranch Road. Dirt trail difficulty ranges from easy to more difficult. Experienced mountain bikers will have no problem but beginner & non-experienced riders may want to walk their bikes up/down some of the short steeper sections. For more details see IMBA trail ratings on PDF maps above. Recommend Mountain, Cyclocross, Gravel bike."
